Overview

Box long ago stopped competing on consumer storage and rebuilt itself as enterprise content management: granular permissions, retention policies, compliance certifications (HIPAA, FedRAMP) and workflow automation via Box Relay. Box AI now queries documents conversationally. It is the choice when legal and IT set the requirements — collaboration features are solid but the consumer-grade polish of Drive or Dropbox is not the point.
